Abstract

A phenomenological theory of exchange narrowing is developed for random-exchange Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains at low temperature. The nearly logarithmic epr linewidth of quinolinium (tetracyanoquino-dimethane) 2 is regained as an inhomogeneous superposition of thermally decoupled domains with widely different renormalized exchange fields that also describe the static thermodynamics. The temperature dependence of internal dipolar fields and of interchain interactions are modeled in terms of spin dilution.
